cj-vana 74dcf979a9 Update MeshCore base to v1.16.0; add sig/air/coin; ship 139 boards

- Bump vendor/MeshCore pin 910b1bee -> bbb58cce (upstream v1.16.0,
  272 commits) and rebase the 14-patch bot queue onto it; one trivial
  conflict in the MyMesh constructor.
- New patch 15: sig/air/coin commands plus registry-derived help and
  cmd listings ('cmd diag' for the diagnostic set). BOT_PREFS_VERSION
  bumped to 7. Host tests cover the new commands and assert every
  discoverable registry entry appears in a listing.
- Re-include six boards fixed upstream (Pico W, RAK 11310, Waveshare
  RP2040 LoRa, Xiao RP2040, Nibble USB+BLE) after local test builds;
  remaining exclusions are BLE flash-size only.
- Fix release env enumeration to strip CR line endings so envs in CRLF
  variant files (Minewsemi ME25LS01, Wio WM1110, Nibble) are counted
  and built; verified all three build locally.
- Refresh README/CHANGELOG/RELEASE/CONTRIBUTING for the new base and
  command set.

Verified: host tests, safety checks, 4 representative builds, and 9
additional env builds all pass; the 15-patch queue applies cleanly to
pristine bbb58cce.

Cutting a release

Releases are produced by pushing a cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z tag. The .github/workflows/release.yml workflow then:

Builds every companion USB+BLE environment exposed by the pinned MeshCore submodule, minus the exclusion list in scripts/list-release-companion-envs.sh (139 boards at the current pin).
Splits the build across 8 parallel matrix shards for wall-time.
Embeds the tag version (vX.Y.Z) into the firmware via FIRMWARE_VERSION.
Uploads each shard's artifacts.
Aggregates everything into a single GitHub Release in draft state, ready for you to add release notes and publish.

Prerequisites

All PRs for the release are merged to main.
CI on main is green (host tests + representative builds).
You've updated CHANGELOG.md with notes for the new version.
Your local branch is up to date with origin/main.

Steps

git checkout main
git pull origin main

# Bump CHANGELOG.md, commit, push.
$EDITOR CHANGELOG.md
git commit -am "docs: prep cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z release notes"
git push origin main

# Tag and push.
git tag -a cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z -m "Colorado Mesh Bot Firmware vX.Y.Z"
git push origin cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z

The release.yml workflow will start automatically. Track progress at https://github.com/Colorado-Mesh/meshcore-bot-firmware/actions.

When the workflow finishes, a draft release will appear at https://github.com/Colorado-Mesh/meshcore-bot-firmware/releases. Review it, paste in the CHANGELOG entry as the description, and publish.

Tag scheme

cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z: production release.
cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z-rc.N: release candidate (still publishes as draft).
cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z-alpha.N / -beta.N: pre-release, mark as pre-release when publishing.

The leading cmesh-bot- namespace leaves room for future variants (repeater, room-server) without colliding.

Versioning

Semantic-ish: bump major for breaking pref/protocol changes, minor for new commands or boards, patch for fixes. Bump BOT_PREFS_VERSION in vendor/MeshCore/examples/companion_radio/BotTypes.h whenever an existing pref field's meaning or default changes. That forces deployed bots to reset prefs on first boot.

Hotfix / unpublish

If a published release turns out to be broken:

Mark it as a pre-release (don't delete it; flashed devices may still reference the URL).
Tag and publish cmesh-bot-vX.Y.(Z+1) immediately.
Edit the broken release's notes to point at the fix.

If you tagged the wrong commit and the workflow hasn't finished:

git tag -d cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z
git push --delete origin cmesh-bot-vX.Y.Z
# fix, re-tag, re-push

Avoid deleting tags after the workflow has published artifacts, since users may have already downloaded them.
